8It was planted in good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
9Say thus says the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it withers? It shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by its roots.
10Yes, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
